I'm not sure why people have trouble with this. It's something that
has always worked for me from day one on every system I use.

Configure the FTP folder structure appropriately for whatever
isolation mode you use (Localuser, domain name, etc.). Grant the
physical location of each user's files MODIFY permission for that user
account, as well as full control for SYSTEM and the Administrator
account or group.

Create a FTP site, setting permission for the user accounts using the
FTP site (I usually create a group called FTPUsers). At the site
level, grant Read and Write access through the check boxes in the Home
Directory tab.

If you use a different folder than the user's home folder as set up in
the folder structure for isolation, create that physical folder and
grant it MODIFY rights for the user who will be using it. In your FTP
site, create a Virtual Directory pointing to that folder, and grant
Read and Write access to it when creating it.

That's about it. You shoudl be able to connect to the FTP site, CD
(CHDIR) to the virtual folder, and PUT and GET files.
